Welcome to Terrific Tuesday here and over at  EXPLORING CRICUT ! It's my turn to share there so I made some photo props for my daughter to use to take some sweet Valentine's pictures! I used Create A Critter and mounted these heart balloons on cookie sticks. I used sticker letters and embellished with my trusty white gel pen! :-) Here is how my daughter used these props in a Valentine photo shoot that she did! Isn't this little girl just so adorable??  Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello everyone! So excited to share some projects with you this month! I'm also sharing these projects over at  SHE'S A SASSY LADY  so be sure to stop over there to see lots of other awesome projects every day! Recently my Gma, (short for Grandma), turned 98 and we celebrated in grand style! I was in charge of the decorations and I had so much fun doing them! My Gma's sister turned 96 the day after her so we celebrated her too! I made a birthday banner, Chip Decor names and themed centerpieces. I used the Country Life cartridge for the images in this centerpiece because it was perfect to represent her growing up years! The main table that Gma and her sister Lucille sat at. Close up of the banner made using Art Philosophy and Country Life. Used the Hobby Lobby exclusive cartridge, Chip Decor to cover the Chip Decor letters. Made this centerpiece using the Heritage and Country Life cartridges. Gma and Aunt Lucille enjoying their cake and ice cre...

Happy Valentine's Day. everyone!! I'm so tickled to share with everyone here,  everyone over at  SHE'S A SASSY LADY  and over at  CRICUT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART ! I made some photo props for my daughter to use in taking Valentine pics of our grandsons and some friends! They turned out so good - but the stars of these pics are, most definitely, our grandsons! They just melt my heart! Sorry if I'm gushing here, but they just complete my world!! We are truly blessed! I'll post a few pics and then give some details about what cartridges, cuts and sizes were used to make the props. Remember, you can click on the pictures to view them bigger!  By the way, our daughter took these amazing pictures! Our 5 1/2 month old grandson, Truman! Yes, he's a big boy and oh, so kissable!! Our 21-month old grandson, Seth, who can be so serious and so funny at the same time! Seth and our 26-month old grandson, Langston, who are great play pals! This picture sequence is hi...

Welcome to another challenge Wednesday here and over at  COOKING WITH CRICUT ! This week's challenge is to use apples and/or honey in your project - not the real stuff as that could get a little sticky! :-) Here is the card that I made using Create a Critter and a perfect stamp from Papertrey Ink. Make sure that you stop by  COOKING WITH CRICUT  to link up your own apple/honey project for a chance to win a great prize!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Here it is, another fun Wednesday challenge over at  COOKING WITH CRICUT  ! This week's challenge is to make something incorporating April Fool's Day, a funny quote, pun or saying! The projects that we on the design team have already done should put a smile on your face! :-) I made a fun twist on a birthday greeting: HIPPO BIRDIE TWO EWE!  I don't remember where I saw this saying, but I immediately thought that I could make a card using this saying and Create a Critter! Hope you smiled while reading this today and be sure to head on over to  COOKING WITH CRICUT  to view the other funny projects and to link up your own!  Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to smile! :-)

Now on to the project! I am making baby shower invitations for our daughter's shower that will be in late September. She loves owls so we found this adorable one on Create a Critter!  I'm also showing you how to create multiples of images so that you can assemble lots of cards at once.  We started out thinking that we would only need about 30 of these invites but once we started preparing our guest list......ummmm........looks like we're gonna need about 100!  Oh well, good thing I have my Gypsy to make this easy!! Here we go! Here is a pic of the completed invites. We chose two different color schemes so they wou...
